đź“ŤÂ Sanur, 24th of August 2018. We were really looking forward to going to Lombok and Gili islands even before we left Berlin. We then wanted to continue the journey to Flores and Komodo island. It was a magnificent plan. Unfortunately for us (and even more so for the hundreds of...
đź“ŤÂ Ijen, 21st of August 2018. Alongside Bromo, Ijen was one of the places we definitively wanted to visit while in Java. We had heard about the mystical Ijen blue fire and couldn't resist going there, even if it meant spending more money and getting an organized tour. We had booked...
đź“ŤMt Bromo, 20th of August 2018. The early start Covered in dust If there was any hope to get some much-needed sleep during the hour transfer to the mountain, it vanished after just a couple of minutes in the 4 wheel-drive. Although it was 3 AM and we were sleepy,...
📍 Mt Bromo, 19th of August 2018. Booking Bromo and Ijen tour With our driver Pri Today was the day we were going to find out whether we had transferred 1 million IDR (apx. 70+ EUR) to a stranger for nothing. Let’s rewind. In a couple of days David’s vacation is...

đź“ŤYogyakarta, 16th of August 2018. A lazy day with ordering in A yummy selection of "tapas" Since we finished working on our blog at around 3:30 AM and were only in bed by 4, we took it very easy yesterday and dedicated the day to researching, planning, organizing the following...
đź“ŤÂ Yogyakarta, 14th of August 2018. Art instead of breakfast Had a great night sleep and resolved to definitely start a day with a nice breakfast and a cup of coffee on the way to the Taman Sari - the Water Palace. At least this was the plan. A couple of...
📍 Jakarta, 13th of August 2018. Vitamines for breakfast in Jakarta Today started with a huge anticipation and excitement about finally getting breakfast in the hotel. Strangely enough, although there is plenty of food available everywhere nonstop, we continuously fail to eat regularly and are oftentimes starving - I guess too many distractions....
đź“ŤÂ Jakarta, 12th of August 2018. Whatever the reason - either the beers the previous night, the weather, the jet lag or the extensive walking, but we slept long and well. Although this meant no yoga nor pool (boo), we felt rested and ready to start a new day. Getting a...
